| When arches adjoin, the entire area between their crowns and springing line is a spandrel. |
| The building is encircled by a horizontal spandrel course above the windows as a means of defining the different floors. |
| In buildings of more than one story the spandrel is the area between the sill of a window and the head of the window below it. |
| If it is filled in, as is ordinarily the case, the resulting structure is termed a spandrel wall. |
| The first and third spandrel arch on each side of the piers was made with an expansion joint in the crown. |
| The corner of the spandrel is decorated with a six-petal rosette, the edges of which are decorated with foliage ending in a fleuron. |
